Miscellaneous Charges in A/R

The miscellaneous charges for sales and purchasing are from 2 different
sources. You build them to meet your needs according to the functions.
They can also be maintained in Master File Maintenance.

We have 2 G/L codes for Freight, one for In and one for Out. I would think
you would charge the customers for Freight Out. If you have the wrong G/L
in your sales side miscellaneous charges, you can do an edit and update to
the correct G/L.

It would be the same thing with the other list of charges for purchasing,
check the code and update as needed.

Be forewarned-long message ahead...........
Can someone tell me what g/l accounts miscellaneous charges that I'm
using should be set up as, or how you personally have them set up?

I just noticed that the guy who set ours up, for example, has
FREIGHT as a miscellaneous charge (which I use daily to charge
customers freight) but he has the g/l account assigned to this as
FREIGHT OUT. I dont think this is correct, as I know this account
was specifically set up for A/P to track billing for freight charges
WE PAY (A/P misc. charges) going out our door as well as the
trucking vendors we *know* are 99.9% freight out. We also have a g/l
account FREIGHT IN that tracks freight charges on A/P invoices.

Also- in regards to these miscellaneous charges. When payables are
put in also, we are using the miscellaneous charge FREIGHT to add
freight charges to the invoice-does this mean that these charges are
adding up in the FREIGHT OUT g/l account also? Should I have one
miscellaneous freight charge for A/P FREIGHT (which *would* be
freight in), and FREIGHT which would be used in customer invoices
(again, I ot sure which g/l account should be applied to that.)

I hope I asked these okay so that you can understand them and it
doesnt just sound like ramblings.

Thanks guys!
